Acetate frames
All Ministry of Sight reading glasses frames are made from acetate, which are luxe, durable, lightweight and comfy. Not plastic!
Unlike cheap plastic frames, acetate is strong, flexible, and less likely to break or warp over time. 💪
Being plant-based and biodegradable, acetate is a greener choice for your eyes — and the Earth. 🌎💚
